has threatened to kill herself, or has threatened to have her brother

Defendant that he has had people follow her and that he haB
personally followed her to determine her whereabouts. on

throat and threw her to the ground, ThIs Incident was witnessed by
Defendant's brother, John Hood, In approxll11ately May of 1995,
PlaintIff grabbed Defendant on her face and threatened to punch her.

immediate and present danger of abuse from Defendant. By way of
further explanation, Plaintiff filed a Complaint in Divorce which
included a count for Custody, with the Cumberland County Courthouse
on November 14, 1996. Defendant believes and therefore avers that
Plaintiff fIled the instant action a mere five (5) days after the
Complaint In Divorce in an attempt to intImidate Defendant and gain
custody of the l11inor child.
6. This averment is more properly a prayer for relief and

WormleYllburg, Pennllylvania.
20. Admitted with clarification. All of tho filing of thill
Anllwer, Defendant hall not been served with the Complaint in Divorce.
By way of further explanation, the proper forum for determining

ConCiliation Conference and not through the filing of a Petition for
Protection Order.
21. Admitted.
22. Denied. It 111 lIpecifically denied that the best interellt
and permanent welfare of the minor child would be met by granting
custody to Plaintiff. By way of further explanation, Defendant has
been the primary caretaker of the minor child since the child's
birth, which includell the fact that Defendant did not work outside of
the home during the child's first three years. Also, Defendant was
forced to place the minor child in day-care last year when Defendant
returned to work, becauae Plaintiff worked the night-shift and
refused to be responsible for the care of tho child during the day.
Additionally, Defendant believes and therefore avers that Plain~iff
filed the instant action a l11ere fiva (5) days after the Complaint in
Divorce in sn attempt to intil11idate Defendant and gain oustody of tho
minor child.
